Personally, I find this all ridiculous. During the birth control lecture we had, the doctor went out of her way to point out to us that just because we can prescribe the morning after pill to our patients doesn't equal them being able to get it filled. Apparently there are only 2-3 pharmacies in Birmingham that will give it out, which is just horrific.

As a side note, what the doctors are taught about birth control is not exactly the same as what the pharmacists are taught. Our lecturer went through a number of "myths" about birth control and side effects, then when I mentioned these to a friend who just graduated from pharmacy school, guess what? She was taught that all these "myths" were true! So which one is right? I sure don't know. I do know that everyone should have access to birth control and the morning after pill. Anything less is wrong for the woman, her partner, and any future children she may have because she was unable to prevent it. This sort of thing should never happen, in my opinion.
